Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Skelmersdale, Lancashire

Most people we chat with are worried about the upfront cost of going green, and that’s completely fair. However, did you know the government is currently offering a £7,500 BUS grant to help you make the switch? This isn't a loan you have to pay back; it's a direct discount off the price of your new air source heat pump installation. As your local experts, we handle the heavy lifting for you, including the application process. Imagine replacing that old, rattling gas boiler with a system that's cheaper to run, knowing the government has already covered a massive chunk of the bill. It's arguably the best time there's ever been to future-proof your home.

You might be wondering, "Will a heat pump actually work during a damp Skem winter?" It's a common concern, but the short answer is a resounding yes. Modern ASHPs are designed specifically for climates like ours. We look at something called the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance). In plain English, for every 1kW of electricity the pump uses, it can produce about 3 to 4kW of heat. Compare that to a brand-new gas boiler which is never more than 100% efficient, and you can see why the maths starts to make sense. We'll ensure your system is sized perfectly through a detailed heat loss survey, so you aren't left shivering when the frost hits the windows.

Choosing someone to overhaul your heating system is a big deal. You want someone who knows the difference between a Monobloc and a Split system, but also someone who won't leave a mess in your kitchen. We’re a family-run team, Gas Safe registered (967977), and we treat every Skelmersdale home like it’s our own. We don't just 'fit and quit' either; we take care of the DNO application to inform the power grid and ensure your unvented hot water cylinder is providing that lovely mains-pressure shower you've always wanted. From the first consultation to the final commissioning, we’re here to make sure the transition to renewable energy is completely seamless.

What does a typical installation look like? First, we come round for a brew and a proper look at your property. We don't do 'guesstimates' here. We calculate exactly how much heat your home loses through the walls and windows to ensure your new pump isn't working harder than it needs to. Once we've got the design right, our engineers get to work. We’ll often upgrade a few radiators to larger ones to work better with the lower-flow temperatures of an ASHP, ensuring your home stays at a constant, comfortable temperature rather than the 'on-off' blasts of heat you get with old boilers. It’s about creating a home environment that’s steady, quiet, and incredibly cost-effective.
